That is a huge difference in price – $27.5 million and $720,000! They are both Ferrari NART Spiders but the numbers and letters that follow the Ferrari in their model designation make all the difference. One is a 275 GTB/4 and the other is a 365 GTB/4.

Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider

The 275 GTB/4 is one of the most beautiful Ferrari styles ever and it has a racing heritage (the Spider has a racing heritage too). The Spider was created by merely cutting off the top – thus leaving most of the beautiful body style in place. Only ten were made.

The 365 GTB/4 Daytona NART Spider was a complete re-body by Michelotti, so there is nothing left that resembles the original 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Less than ten were made – but that doesn’t matter. It has no race heritage and the looks, well, are a matter of personal taste.

So is the huge price difference worth it? At least one buyer and seller thought so.

Comments

It would not surprise me that the next time a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona NART Spider comes up for sale that it will sell for far more than what this example sold for, depending on condition. While its looks are a matter of personal taste and it has no racing heritage, it is rarer than Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider. And Mike, as you well know first hand, all it takes is two motivated buyers to drive up the price.

I’m betting that if the new owner brought his/her 365 GTB/4 Daytona NART Spider to a high-profile 2014 Scottsdale auction, that it will sell for far more than he/she just paid for it in Monterey, probably well in excess of seven figures.
